On behalf of our team at VisionAmerica, we want to thank all of you who attended our 2018 Summer Conference! For those of you who couldn't make it this year, you were truly missed! The weekend was filled with great conversation, fantastic vendors, and some truly amazing speakers! A few highlights of the conference included: Dr. Larry DeLucas sharing his experience in space
The room was captivated as Dr. Larry DeLucas told us some fascinating stories about his time in space. From the physiological effects of space on the eye and the human body to urine crystals (don't ask!), this was truly a one of a kind lecture! You might be able to help Dr. DeLucas in his work! Several weeks ago we sent out a request from Dr. DeLucas for specific expired medications for a potential study for NASA. While the study has not been confirmed yet, Dr. DeLucas requested that anyone with expired medications in their home email him and let him know. The list of medications he is looking for can be found here. Please email Dr. DeLucas at [email protected] if you have any of the medications on the list. (Let's help him out!) If you missed Dr. DeLucas' lecture and would like to know more about his work, click here and check out our piece from July 3, 2018. The Neurosurgery Review Sure, we knew Dr. Josh Menendez would do a great job in his lecture, but when have you ever left a talk on neurosurgery and heard people saying, "Wow, I wish he would have had another hour!" Dr. Menedez blew the attendees away with his presentation on neurosurgery! The room was buzzing as he concluded his lecture! Do you want to hear more on neurosurgery in the future? Reply to this email and let us know! Dueling Pianos On Friday night, August 10th, we sat down for dinner and a little entertainment from Ty Reynolds and the Dueling Pianos out of Nashville, Tennessee. While we aren't sure if anyone knew exactly what to expect, some interesting optometrist dancing and Dr. Paul Batson being serenaded on stage caught us all off guard! (You just had to be there!) Ultimately, the Dueling Pianos were a hit and it looked like a great time was had by all! Conference Survey Ok, fine. The survey wasn't a highlight of the conference, but we need you to fill it out if you haven't already! Prior to leaving on Saturday, we sent out a five-question survey to attendees to get a better idea about how we can better serve you, our referring doctors, through our email content and future conference lecture topics. We have received some great responses so far! If you haven't completed the survey, please take one minute to fill it out! (Seriously, it is super short!) Click here to fill out the survey! This will be a huge help to us as we go forward and research more topics to share with all of you! Comments on the Conference "This conference has a ton of practical information for your day-to-day practice." "This is my favorite conference!" "The DEWS2 Update on Dry Eye by Dr. Jillian Ziemanski was really helpful!" "My favorite thing about this conference is the camaraderie and learning from your peers." "This is the premier CE of the year! Camaraderie with colleagues, great lectures, dueling pianos... it was all great!" Again, we are truly thankful for all of you! If you have any thoughts on the conference or ideas for what you would like to see next year, please reply to this email and let us know! We read every response!
